Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 13

The Bloodclan Leader's eyes widened with surprise and affection. 

"M-Moonpaw?" 

Moonfur nodded slowly and smiled. "Yes, Tiny." Tears brimmed in the corner of her beautiful golden eyes. They weren't sad, but happy tears of joy. Tiny leaped down and nuzzled her. Moonfur nuzzled back and cried into his shoulder. Her old friend pat her back with his paw as she hugged him. "I-I've been waiting for moons... Hoping to see you again." Tiny just nodded and shushed her. "I've actually sent multiple patrols to our old home to try and find you. I'm so glad that you're here... Safe and... Beautiful... Like always." Moonfur just smiled and cried. They sat like that for a while, the clan giving them strange looks. Soon he spoke up, breaking the silence. He whispered into her ear. "Just so you know... I changed my name to Scourge... Unless you still want to call me Tiny then..." "No... Scourge is just fine... As long as you never leave me again." Moonfur interrupted. "I actually changed my name, too. It's Moonfur..." "Beautiful name for a beautiful cat." 
He smiled at her and Moonfur smiled back. "Anyways... I guess we think alike..." Scourge nodded to Moonfur's collar. Moonfur purred. "Yeah."
"I heard that you have a clan now... " She nodded. "I can see that you do, too. Bloodclan, is it?" Scourge nodded back.
"So... What's been going on?" Moonfur asked, her golden eyes flashing with interest. "Just you know... Busy being leader... That's all." He purred. Moonfur purred with him. "How about you? Clan doing well?" "Yeah, Plenty of kits this season." Scourge flicked his tail. " That's good. How about prey? It's been quite plentiful here..." Moonfur smiled. "Yes, plenty of prey, too. How about your clan? Any kits running around?" "Just a few... Kits weren't as plentiful." Moonfur nodded. "At least prey's been good for you." Scourge played with his dog-reinforced claws. "H-hey um... Moonfur... Would you like to merge our clans together? They can still be called Bloodclan and Cloudclan but just live in this alleyway." "Together?" "Yeah." Moonfur smiled and nodded. "Sure, my clan won't mind." "A-and you can sleep in my den... If you want to..." Moonfur purred. "You stutter too much. Of course I'll be with you, mousebrain!" She purred and playfully shoved him. 

       "I'll have to get my clan first thought..." "No Moonfur, you can stay in my den while Bone gets them." Moonfur purred. "Do you really think my cats are just going to listen to some rouge that came into camp yesterday? No, so I'm going to get them myself." Scourge purred. "Alright, but promise that you'll come back."
"I always come back." She licked his cheek. "Good hunting!~" The Cloudclan leader mewed, flicking her tail as she walked away. Scourge watched her dreamily, his icy blue eyes calm with love and affection for this one she-cat that changed his life.

   Moonfur walked along the twoleg path, following Bone as he led the way to her camp. She padded along, her black-tipped tail high in dominance. The young leader sighed as she thought about the Bloodclan ruler. Soon she was there, late at night. The camp was in the shadows with only the twoleg monster's flashing eyes lighting up the alleyway from time to time. "Wait here." She told Bone. He just nodded and sat down at the entrance of the camp with only the guards keeping him company. "Welcome, Moonfur." They both said as she entered. Moonfur just nodded and padded to her den. Most of the cats were still up, so she got a few welcome backs from them. She leaped onto her den and yowled. "All cats join under the dump! This is important!" She sat with her tail curled around herself. 

"We are leaving to join with Bloodclan!" 

Of course no one disagreed because if they did, they would be killed. The deputy, Frogleap, came up. "Now, Moonfur?" She nodded. "Now. Mothers, grab your kits! Warriors, grab the elders! Guards, count every cat that exits the alleyway. If anyone's missing, report to me." She leaped down and led the cats to the entrance of the alleyway where Bone was waiting. He nodded and led Moonfur and the others on the twoleg path. Frogleap and Scratchclaw walked beside Moonfur as they traveled all night until the dawn showed itself ahead. They were home. A new, safe, environment to raise a clan... Or two.
